Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 517

Chapter 517 Things Brought by Dax

In a two-bedroom apartment at Area 45 in the North, Keith sat on the sofa, holding Danica. Since it was late, Danica had fallen asleep in Keith’s arms.

She smacked her lips as if dreaming of something delicious.

Danica was just a child and did not quite understand what had happened, but Keith was different. He was already eleven years old. He knew well that because his parents had passed away, he and Danica could only depend on each other from now on.

Now he was immersed both in the sadness of his parent’s death and the uncertainty about the future.

He didn’t know what to do or what he should do in the future!

How should he and his sister live their life hereafter? He didn’t know the answer.

Everything to come turned very unknown. Meanwhile, what happened in the morning was constantly reappearing in his mind. It was like a nightmare. He saw his parents die in front of him, torn apart by that monster!

Keith kept wiping away his tears!

There was a woman sitting there in the room, too. She said with sadness and concern, “Keith, Danica is asleep. Send her to bed and let her have a good sleep. Everything will be fine. In the days to come, we will take care of you and give you the best education…”

Though she was comforting Keith, Keith just sat on the sofa and seemed not listening at all.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

The woman soon sat up and went to the door. She was slightly stunned when she saw Gerald and Carolyn. She asked, “May I know who you are?”

“I’m Gerald!” Gerald answered calmly.

As she heard the name, the woman’s expression changed instantly!

Gerald was a legend among the Watchmen. People in the North naturally knew of this name.

“It’s you!” The woman turned a bit nervous.

Gerald smiled and said, “It’s alright. Could you please go out first? I’ll try to talk with him!”

Just right at the door, Gerald had heard Keith sobbing, as well as how the woman comforted Keith. Gerald stood at the door and sighed.

He had carried out many missions and had seen many tragedies like this. He thought that he would be immune to it one day, yet he still felt sorry every time he witnessed one. The more he saw it, the stronger his hatred of Elite Ghost grew.

Thus, when Blood Lotus colluded with Elite Ghost and obstructed Night Watch, Gerald detested the Blood Lotus very much.

The woman nodded. As one of the Watchmen, she bowed to Gerald and left the room.

Gerald and Carolyn walked into the room..

They came to the sofa.

Keith looked up and saw Gerald, his face showing a trace of bitterness. He recognized Gerald and said in sadness, “Mr. Kenneth, my parents…”

Gerald raised one hand, gently touched the back of Keith’s head, and said, “I’m sorry, Keith. It was our fault. We let you down!

“But let me tell you a story!” Gerald added.

Keith nodded.

Gerald put down his hand from Keith’s head and said, “I’ve been there, too. Back then, I was framed. and was almost sentenced to life imprisonment!”

Gerald began to talk about his past experiences and the battles he had with the Elite Ghost.

It worked. The boy was attracted by his words.
